GC Newport Fall Term 2011!

Welcome all Global Campuses to read about our Global Campus Newport updates and what we’ve done in the past. We have been a Global Campus for nine years. With Jim and Sherry’s help all the campuses got started.

This year we did a Global Campus 50/50 raffle. Half the money went to a woman and half we donated to the Vermont Foodbank. We raised $205 for the Foodbank.

This year we purchased one video camera from Newport and one for St. Johnsbury so we could film our meetings. First, before we use it, we have to ask people if they want to be filmed. We got the money for the camera from the Green Mounatin Fund grant, which we wrote.

For the last day of the term we had a Christmas Party and made Christmas wreathes and getting our certificate awards. We will get awards for doing classes. Steve taught a class on Island Pond. Donna and Buddy studied Lowell, Vermont. We also did Interactive TV with St. Johsnbury.

Next term, we have decided to do a refresher term. We want to have calendars, team meetings, and more organized registration. We also want to be prepared to teach with binders and pens. We will go over new teaching methods and have class accountability for what we are teaching and what we sign up for.
